Even if you take the usual GOP dirty tricks out of the equation, Benedict Donald only won because of the electoral college, and because he ran against the crappiest of all possible Democratic candidates (who still got 3M more votes.)

The Midwest states tRump won by such slim margins are highly unlikely to support him again in 2020 (if he's still in office) now that farmers and other blue collar workers have realized the extent to which they have been taken by a con man.

"There's a distinct possibility, however, that China won't back down and the trade wars with China, Mexico, Canada and Europe will contribute to a major recession. Trump has introduced uncertainty and instability into the US economy, according to David Kotz, an old friend, a professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the author of The Rise and Fall of Neoliberal Capitalism."

Lol....that post take you long? I posted history. You posted profanity.

Because I have a life and actually went out to enjoy the weather. You posted a single historical era where the condition are not even similar today. Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is more likely historical example

Research by a Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) finds that the number of U.S. jobs gained because of Trump’s tariffs on imported steel, aluminum, solar panels, and washing machines exceeds the number of U.S. job losses because of the tariffs by a staggering 20-to-1 ratio.https://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...han-jobs-lost/

As Breitbart News reported, the CPA research has found that over the last six months, there have been about 11,100 U.S. jobs created due to Trump’s protective tariffs. On the other hand, there have been about 514 job losses directly tied to the tariffs.
